Android: Retrieving shared preferences of other application
Assuming the preference are WORLD_READABLE, this might work:
final ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> LIST = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
// where com.example is the owning app containing the preferences
Context myContext = createPackageContext("com.example", Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
SharedPreferences testPrefs = myContext.getSharedPreferences("test_prefs", Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
Map<String, ?> items = testPrefs .getAll();
for(String s : items.keySet()) {
// do something like String value = items.get(s).toString());
}
Okay! using this code in Application 1 ( with package name is "com.sharedpref1" ) to store data with Shared Preferences.
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("demopref",
Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putString("demostring", strShareValue);
editor.commit();
And using this code in Application 2 to get data from Shared Preferences in Application 1. We can get it because we use MODE_WORLD_READABLE in application 1:
try {
con = createPackageContext("com.sharedpref1", 0);
SharedPreferences pref = con.getSharedPreferences(
"demopref", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String data = pref.getString("demostring", "No Value");
displaySharedValue.setText(data);
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("Not data shared", e.toString());
}
